The november 2002 eruption of the Papandayan volcano (Indonesia): direct and induced hazards

The Papandayan volcano in Indonesia erupted in November 2002, and expelled more than one million cubic meters of volcanic ash. Although the eruption magnitude was low, the direct financial loss amounted to 1.5 x 10 super(6) US$. The whole drainage basin was disrupted through several geomorphic processes which followed one another over time and space.Original Abstract: Le volcan indonesien Papandayan est entre en eruption en novembre 2002, ejectant plus d'un million de metres cubes de cendres volcaniques.
